Conan O'Brien, See Ya Soon - saynomore - 01-24-2010

I don't care why it happened or who's to blame. But Conan bid adieu last Friday night, his voice cracking, his eyes welling with tears. Then he strapped on his guitar, joined Will Ferrell, and some rock legends, and played a rousing version of FREE BIRD.

I can add this moment of TV legend to my list of memories, including seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, Janis Joplin on Dick Cavett, Blue Cheer on Steve Allen, David Bowie and Bing Crosby singing Little Drummer Boy on Johnny Carson, and Soupy Sales throwing the middle finger to the live camera during the taping of his tv show for kids.

Hurry back, Conan. I'll be waiting for more great moments to come.

Conan's eyes weren't the only ones welling with tears. The final speech and everyone playing Free Bird was really very touching. I can't wait to see Conan back on tv. There's always some far off hope in my mind that maybe he might go back to The Simpsons. It's doubtful, but it would be nice.

Here's something Patton Oswalt wrote on his Facebook concerning the final Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien:

"So, Conan ends his final Tonight Show on the 22nd asking people to avoid cynicism, work hard, and be nice to one another. Leno ends his show on the 21st taking a passive-aggressive, cynical swipe at Conan. Enjoy The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, starting March 1st!"

What a bunch of BS. Give the man the show...then take it away. The only thing I liked about Leno was Headlines on Monday nights. Other than that.....nada.

I had the same thought, Alvin.

Oh please. O'Brien will be crying all the way to the bank with his $33 million share of the settlement.

$33 million? $33 million! For what?! Losing a job of reading jokes off a teleprompter and conducting lame PR "interviews" with celebrities. Ooookay then..... Rolleyes

Whatever. It's a private contract between him and NBC and they can put whatever price tag on it they like. It just seems a bit, oh... excessive to me. But then I never thought O'Brien was funny and I hate, hate, hate his stupid hair.

I have no special dislike for NBC over any other network. They all suck.

Leno on the other hand, I could never stand.

So I blame him.
